In a new interview, John Anne Hotchkiss threatens Bravo if they air any footage.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Russell Armstrong‘s shocking Aug. 15 suicide took place in advance of the upcoming season of the show, which profiles his dissolving marriage to estranged wifeTaylor. Now his mother is speaking out, saying Bravo is to blame for his tragic death!

Russell’s mom John Anne Hotchkiss gave an interview to CNN HLN’s Jane Velez-Mitchell, saying her son was mortified about the upcoming season, and it was likely the cause of his suicide.

“Before the new season even started, before he took his life, he said, ‘Mom, they’re just going to crucify me this season,'” she said. “He said, ‘I don’t know what to do. I’ll never survive it.'”

John also said she gave a stern warning to Bravo executives about airing footage of her son.

“[Bravo] better not air one frame of my son…or else,” she said.

What do you think, HollywoodLifers — should Bravo not show footage of Russell?
